"You don't smell like a fat man." Cherished memory.

So, Nick Mason was famously replaced on "The Wall" (that's Jeff Porcaro on "Mother"), played with a second drummer on that tour and thereafter was assisted on tour by "co-drummer" Gary Wallis. Nick Mason is properly appreciated.

Paradoxically, bikers engaged in their lifelong themed cosplay don't really care for themed events. You might notice they don't wear Halloween costumes or zany Christmas sweaters. Their playlists are also pretty limited ... but Rush is definitely not on those lists. Van Halen is a bit too...
